Are you ready to elevate your fundraising from transactional to transformational? Learn strategies from seasoned successful fundraisers how to identify your needs and set realistic expectations; identify potential donors, including a profile of typical animal welfare donors; identify the best course of action to meet your goals, whether it be an annual fund for ongoing income or legacy gifts for future needs; the “do’s” and “don’ts” of asking for money; and tracking donors, donations and follow up touch points. We will also discuss tips on how to use your board effectively, general relationship management and marketing.
